Day 6: Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Today marks the highlight of your journey — a once-in-a-lifetime gorilla trek through the ancient Bwindi forest. After a briefing from park rangers, venture into the thick jungle in search of one of the habituated gorilla families. The trek can take between 2 and 6 hours depending on their location, but the moment you lock eyes with a silverback in the mist, every step feels worth it. You’ll spend a magical hour observing their behavior, taking photographs, and absorbing the serenity of the forest.
Return to your lodge for a well-earned rest and evening by the fire.
